Express corrects article about mass sex attack by migrants three weeks after it was retracted by Bild

The Express has corrected an article claiming that 900 migrants carried out sex attacks in Frankfurt on New Year’s Eve.

The Express online article from 8 February was headlined: “‘They grabbed me everywhere’ More than 900 migrants carried out Germany NYE sex attacks.”

It went on to say that the story was based on reports in German newspaper Bild.
